DESCRIPTION

The precursor to the well-known Rocky Horror Picture Show, RHS boasts a rich cult following with hilarious audience participation, as well as a wild and boisterous rock n’ roll score. Don’t miss your chance to do the Time Warp again!

Important Note – This show is intended for mature audiences only, due to language and adult situations. This also applies to audition material. This production will be the full book musical, not a shadow cast in front of the film and will require live singing, dynamic dancing, and high energy from the cast. Some characters will be partially clothed and perform scenes that are highly sexualized in nature. STC places great importance on the safety of its participants and creating a consent forward production. If you have any questions about what to expect, please email STC at SpringfieldTheatreCentre@gmail.com.

Performers of all ethnicities, gender identities, and ages (18+), as well as performers with disabilities are encouraged to audition.

BRAD: Male Presenting, 18-40 (Range: Bari Tenor, Bb2-G4)
A strait-laced man from Denton, Brad Majors is attempting to visit his old mentor, Dr. Everett V.

Must be comfortable performing in only a pair of briefs or lingerie throughout most of the show.

JANET: Female Presenting, 18-40 (Range: Mezzo Soprano Belt, A3-Eb5)
A simple-minded, naive, and innocent girl at the onset, Janet Weiss “gives herself over to absolute pleasure” at the castle, despite her recent engagement to Brad Majors. Must be comfortable wearing only undergarments only on stage.

NARRATOR: Any Gender, Age Flexible (Range: Non-Singing Role) A host who explains the plot and tells the story to the audience. Performer must maintain a serious facade and possess good comic timing while enduring relentless sass from the audience. Some improv experience helpful.

USHERETTE / MAGENTA: Female Presenting, Age Flexible (Range: Mezzo Soprano Belt, Bb3-Eb5) Magenta is a domestic from the planet Transsexual, in the galaxy Transylvania.

ROCKY: Male Presenting 18-35, VERY FIT, (Range: Tenor, A3-G4) Created from scratch in the strange laboratory of Dr. Frank-n-Furter, Rocky came into the world simply to do anything for his creator. Designed to be blonde, dreamy, and statuesque, Rocky’s knowledge of the world is limited to the purely lustful and sexual.

EDDIE / DR. SCOTT: Male Presenting, Age Flexible (Range: Baritone, E3-F#4) Dr. Everett Scott, mentor of Brad and Janet and uncle of Eddie, comes to the castle in search of his nephew and serves as the scientific voice of reason. Dr Scott performs in a wheelchair. Eddie from birth is a rotten egg, perpetually finding trouble.
